Pierogi was in pain and needed 9 teeth extracted! They were kind and efficient. It took time to get an appointment!

I wish we had met Dr Simpson back in January because he totally made our baby better. Our Shih Tzu had an abscess that ruptured through his cheek and even our original vet kept saying that our fur baby needed to be put to sleep, and talked me out of special care saying it was so expensive and why put our baby through that? But it was just one subcutaneous medication once a week for a month for his anemia. After going to multiple vets telling me the same thing which was NOTHING (I'm thinking now they didn't know what they were doing) Dr Simpson was compassionate and saw that we had been through such turmoil, he was kind and said the magic words. "We'll fix his teeth and sew up his open wound (from his mouth to his cheek)" Not one vet prior had that obvious answer that we were looking for, until we met Dr Simpson. Thank you Dr Simpson! read more

Avoid this veterinarian at all costs! They misdiagnosed my dog not once, but twice. I was advised to see a cardiologist and referred to an emergency hospital with supposed cardiologists, only to find out there were none there I ended up having to pay for the visit at that hospital. read more

I've been taking my dogs here for a while and I always leave feeling that my dogs have been taken care of by the best veterinarians in San Diego. Great care and reasonable prices! read more

I don't usually write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience with both of the vets and all of the staff here. I've only been in twice so far, but I'm already so impressed. The entire team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely cares about both pets and their humans. The veterinarians are thorough in their approach, taking the time to explain everything in detail and make sure all my questions are answered. The quality of care is outstanding, and you can tell they truly love what they do. My dog had a mass removal surgery there today. When I picked her up, she walked out alert and happily-- almost like nothing happened! On top of that, the office is clean, well-maintained, and has a cute, inviting atmosphere. I'm so glad I found them--my pack and I are in great hands here! read more

DO NOT TAKE YOUR BULLDOG ANYWHERE ELSE!! Dr. Simpson has been caring for my bulldogs for well over 30 years, even delivering litters in the middle of the night - and NEVER have I had a bad experience with him or his staff. He is the most knowledgeable, kindest, and simply superior vet I've ever known - and I will continue to have him care for my dogs as long as he's in practice. read more

Best veterinarian clinic I think in San Diego, compassionate, caring, and fair priced, The vets there are amazing and kind. My dog loves it here . I've been to many veterinarians and I have to say they are the best.. and they give senior discounts and work with many rescues best veterinarian clinic I've ever been to. read more

This is long and overdue!!! I can't say enough great things about Dr. Simpson and the incredible care he has shown my English bulldog, Potato. Time and time again, he's gone above and beyond to ensure that Potato gets the best treatment, and his dedication and compassion are unparalleled. The first time I needed Dr. Simpson's help, Potato was suffering from consecutive vomiting and diarrhea for five days. I called the clinic, and even though Dr. Simpson was at an Aztec's game with his family, he took the time to personally call me back. Despite the loud noise in the background and being in the middle of a game, he was incredibly attentive, walked me through everything I needed to do, and made sure I had all the medication necessary to help Potato feel better. I will never forget this moment.. The second instance was when Potato started having issues with her eyesight after years of having her cherry eye procedure done. Dr. Simpson was fully booked, and I didn't expect him to have time for me. But, to my surprise, he called me back to answer all my questions, address my concerns, and reassure me about the procedure's long-term benefits for her eyesight. He made sure I felt comfortable and confident in the decision, all while managing a packed schedule. What truly sets Dr. Simpson apart is his genuine care for animals and the people who love them. He never pushes unnecessary tests or treatments, and his approach always makes me feel like he's more concerned about the well-being of my pet than anything else. I feel fortunate to have found a vet who not only has the expertise but also the heart to take such great care of my bulldog. Dr. Simpson's commitment to his patients, his availability when needed most, and his empathetic approach make him stand out in a way that's hard to put into words. I truly believe I'll never find another vet like him throughout my life as a bulldog owner. Thank you, Dr. Simpson, for everything you do! read more

Dr. Simpson and his team are the BEST! Seriously some of the most compassionate and caring people I've ever dealt with. They truly understand and reciprocate the love I have for my Chunk. I will continue recommending this clinic to all my friends and family. Thank you Dr. Simpson and team! we love you! read more

We've been taking our French Bulldogs here for the last four years, and we can't say enough good things about Dr. Simpson and his staff. Recently, I had to make the tough decision to put down my beloved dog Chloe, who was with me for 16 years. Chloe had never been seen at this office, but because our other dogs go here, they accepted us with open arms. From the very first call I made to inquire about these services, Dr. Simpson's staff was compassionate and trusted my decision. Every time I spoke to them over the phone, I could hear the sorrow in their voice for the decision I had to make. On the day we said goodbye, they had the room ready for us. They took care of all of the logistics beforehand since they knew it would be too hard afterwards. The vet who performed the procedure walked us through how it would go. Even after my girl was gone, she told us the next steps and stayed in the room with us. When the time came to pick up my girl's ashes, the receptionist who called said, "Miss Chloe is back with us and ready for pickup." The joy in her voice and the words she chose put a big smile on my face. After all, I was ready to bring Chloe back home. I didn't know what to expect with the after care process, but West Coast Pet Memorial (the company this office uses) left me speechless. The absolute professionalism and presentation of the package was beyond belief. For the lock of hair, they made sure to get a piece of her fur that included her brindle. It's the little details like that which make all of the difference. They even set aside some ashes for me in a separate bag so that I could scatter some of her in the garden to grow with the roses (a request I made to Dr. Simpson's office when we selected the urn). The decision to send my baby over the rainbow bridge was an awful one to make. However, the service and compassion provided by Dr. Simpson's office, his staff, and West Coast Pet Memorial brought comfort to me during one of the hardest times of my life. read more

Hands down Dr. Simpson is one of the best if not THE best Doctors I've met in 35+ years (that's what I can remember from an early age) owning animals. It's not about how fancy a place is or how many cars fit in a parking lot. What I find most appealing is a doctors oath, first do no harm. Beyond that Dr. Simpson has unwavering passion for helping animals, healing them or even having the courage to ease them into a more gentle afterlife. To be a doctor is to practice and no matter how many years one might have or in Dr. Simpson's case tireless hours (sometimes 16 + hour days dedicated to his clients) there is always going to be an element of unknowing because though Dr. Simpson is awesome he is not God. So for any negative reviews I'm sorry for any bad experience you have had and especially the one where you have been there 25 years that says something! What I can say to anyone is I happen to have had a very rare pup a hermaphrodite baby with a short palate. Several vet offices said to put him down (yes I got not one, not two, but five opinions because no one could diagnose the little guy). The ONE vet willing to take action to help this 9 ounce pup was Dr. Simpson. Even when Dr. Simpson was gone for a family wedding he arranged for one of his fellow veterinarians to help get medications for John, lifesaving meds. You would think a pup having been poked and probed and examined would hate the vet but John sees Dr. Simpson and like a spoiled little kid runs across the table and bites his pen, he wants attention. Not only is john 17+ pounds now he is probably one in a billion. Dr. Simpson had to custom surgically repair his boy/girl part to make a sheath. Talent as a Doctor is saying it mildly, kindness and willingness to help creatures is remarkable, love and dedication to his profession can only be summed up by saying God created an Angel, a gift to creatures in Dr. Simpson. His staff busts their bum to keep up too the phones never stop, clients line up for their turn. You won't be sold a bag of tricks here! I'm thankful to all of them for all the hard work and effort everyday! read more

This is long over due. My favorite vet retired in Oceanside and for a couple of years i felt lost, i needed someone who knew to deal with the human aspect of veterinary medicine along with providing exceptional care to my dogs. I have three dogs, they are my family and want only the best. My friend recommended Dr Simpson around 2021 and this changed our lives. We now have a clinic of people who truly care and treat my dog with patience and kindness. Dr Simpson is one in a million. Dr Elyea is wonderful too. My dog isn't treated as an atm machine here. I've never been taken advantage of for additional unnecessary tests. They are in my opinion the best of the best. I've been a dog owner 20 years. Trust me, they are what medical practices used to be like and should be like, there for the animal. Animal first. Not profit first. Check out Dr Simpson's help us help the animals fund while there, he cares. I want to clone him. read more

I'm so lucky a friend referred me to this clinic over 6 years ago. I cannot say enough good things about them. They have squeezed me in on several emergency visits. They take the best care of my pets and don't try to break the bank with outrageous costs. my dog actually loves going for visits! I would leave more stars if i could. Thank you spring valley vet clinic! all the staff and doctors are amazing. i won't forget your compassion and kindness in stressful times. thank you!!!! read more

For almost eight years we have taken our dog, Skwidgie, to the Spring Valley Veteranary Clinic but we had never had an appointment with Dr. Simpson until yesterday. We had requested him this time to have him assess Skwidgie's quality of health at almost fifteen. We ended up having her euthanized That is not my purpose here. My purpose is to tell you that not only was he knowledgeable but more importantly he was compassionate and caring beyond any expectations Thank you Dr. Simpson and Jennifer. read more

Dr Simpson is what we humans wish our doctor was like. Took our bulldog in to have his eyes rechecked and had some bloodwork. Looks like the doctor's medication regime has helped our bully's eyes. Dr Simpson called us about 830pm to tell us our bulldogs blood tests all came back great. What other Vet does this? His other 2 Vets- Elya and Benavides(sorry if i misspelled them) The other 2 veterinarians are also top notch. He also doesn't charge an arm and a leg like other Vets. So happy they see our 3 bullies. read more

I wasn't sure what to do when my vet recommended soft palette surgery for my French Bulldog Otis. After researching the benefits and the cost, I decided I needed a second opinion before putting him under the knife. I have a friend that recommended Dr. Simpson because of his special care with the bully breed. My initial consultation was with another Vet Dr Judy and to my surprise he recommended Dr. Simpson. He said... "Dr. Simpson is the best! He does this type of surgery often and is a great surgeon". I made an appointment immediately! Dr. Simpson loves his job and was very thorough during our consultation. Which put me at ease. I was confident after the consultation and happy with the estimate. The staff was very friendly and attentive and most importantly Otis loved the Dr and everyone in the office. The surgery went great and he doesn't sound like a lil piggy anymore. He can breath easier and I know we have an improved quality of life! I look forward to longer walks and less stress on his lil heart and I'm forever grateful to Dr Simpson and his staff that made the entire experience stress free considering the circumstances. I'm sure I found my new Vet for Otis and I could not be happier! Thank you Dr. Simpson and staff!Otis and I are now loyal customers! read more

First of all, we spent the morning calling around trying to find a clinic that would take him on the same day (new puppy). On arrival, we were so pleased to see them practicing pandemic protocols. They came out to deliver paperwork, pick it up, they called to verify our puppy's problem, came out to pick him up and take him into the clinic. Dr. Schmit listened to everything we said AND heard everything we said. Both of his issues seem to have been resolved, he's so much better. What a contrast to the previous vet we took him to see. We asked the previous vet if there was any special procedure we had to follow on arrival. They said, Oh, no, just come on in. We arrived to find a waiting room full of people and pets, told them we'd wait outside. Of course, they forgot about us. When we finally went in, let's just say the vet lacked a personality. Worse yet, the medication would only work for a couple of days. read more

I have never trusted a vet and felt more safe for my darling dogs than with Dr Gary Simpson. He is a true animal lover and it shows. He's been our Dr for almost 15 yrs. Every procedure he's ever done for my dogs was flawless and his manner is so genuine and kind. Bigger doesn't mean better and Spring Valley Vet clinic is proof of that. read more

Love love love Dr. Simpson and his amazing staff. We heard great things about him from San Diego Great Dane group with the knowledge of Great Danes and Bulldogs, we had to have him as our danes vet!! They really care about the pets and you here. I feel as if they are all about the animals and they are not trying to just get your money. The pets come first here, but that's how I feel with my Dane. One time I called them during after hours to ask a question about my dane (didn't realize it till I heard the answering machine greeting), one of the ladies called me back and helped me out and got me the soonest appointment. She heard my voicemail during closing and called me back. They go above and beyond here. Don't judge the office or the decor or anything all that matters is the staff and how they love what they do. Thank you guys! read more

Dr Simpson is the best doctor on earth! Xuxa loves him. I'll never go anywhere else. A doctor who takes his time with my little old lady.

Was able to squeeze my cat in for a eye irritation, great friendly vet techs, the vet was very thorough

Dr. Simpson is the finest vet I've ever met. He's given all my pets the best of care and I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Simpson. I am so glad my friend recommended him to me because Ive had some bad experiences with other vets in this town. Dr. Elia (not sure of the spelling) is also a good vet. I would recommend them both to anyone looking for competent veterinary care for their pets. read more

You can tell when a veterinary clinic is passionate about their patients and I just wanted to give credit where credit is due.

I live downtown and the short trip to see our favorite vet is always worth it. They are bar-none the best vets in Southern California. The staff is amazing, knowledgeable and friendly. Both doctors have performed operations on my dogs with amazing results, as well as treated them for chronic and aging conditions. I cannot say enough how much I value them in my pups' life. The office and visiting rooms are no nonsense, but you're not paying for frills, you're paying for solid medical care and advice. 12/10 recommend. Thank you so much for your care!! read more

Dr. Simpson and his staff are simply the best! Great old school vets that are not afraid to use newer techniques. Never over priced and truly cares about your pets!

I cannot say enough kind words about this office. read more
